How to Make Strawberry Angel Food Cake Dessert

  1. Dissolve 1 package (3 oz) strawberry Jell-O in 1 1/4 cups of boiling water.
  2. Stir in 1 (16 ounce) container of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Cool the mixture completely and refrigerate until thickened, about 2-3 hours.
  4. Gently fold in 2 cups of whipped heavy cream.
  5. Cover the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or clear glass serving dish with torn pieces of angel food cake (approximately 1/2 of a standard angel food cake).
  6. Pour half of the strawberry mixture over the cake layer.
  7. Add another layer of torn angel food cake.
  8. Pour the remaining strawberry mixture over the second cake layer.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set completely.
  10. Before serving, remove from the refrigerator and top with a thin layer of Cool Whip (optional).
